Sleep Disorders Center

Do you snore loudly?  Do you stop breathing or gasp for your breath while sleeping?  Do you have high blood pressure, morning headaches or heartburn?  Have you fallen asleep while driving?  Are your legs active at night?  Are you sleepy during the day?  If you have any of these symptoms, you should talk with your provider about a sleep study.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, 50 – 70 million Americans are affected by chronic sleep disorders and intermittent sleep problems that can significantly diminish health, alertness and safety. However, when proper diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders occurs, the feeling of sleepiness declines, memory improves and safety risks decrease dramatically. In fact, sleep disorder specialists help an estimated 85 to 90% of their patients get better sleep.

Untreated sleep disorders have been linked to hypertension, heart disease, stroke, depression, diabetes and other chronic diseases. Sleep problems can take many forms and can involve too little sleep, too much sleep or inadequate quality of sleep. These disorders are treatable with a diagnosis from a Sleep Study.

A sleep study will monitor and analyze sleep stages through:
•    Brain waves
•    Muscle movements
•    Eye movements
•    Oxygen saturation
•    Heart rate
•    Respiratory effort
•    Nasal flow and snoring

Our services include:
